Not washing the zed but just received my replacement company car, a mk7 golf. Arrived dusty and covered in bird droppings. Spent two hours hand washing and waxing but have to say, the zed appears far shinier when I put that amount of effort into cleaning it.

Washed the Z4 yesterday, weather wasn't too bad but today is bitterly cold with snow showers, put the Z4 away again until the weather improves, I thought the worst was over and spring was here :? So the Z3 is back out for the next few weeks.

I only wax my Z...and only once every 4 months...and only so I can take note of any serious paint damage....otherwise I take it to the Sonax Foam wash / valet guys...Costs £4.00 for a full service in and out..leather, windows, tyres, rims etc etc.. and I get every 5th visit free.... so actually £.3.20 per session....
But today I did replace the rubber / furry window guide on the driver side...and gave the interior a wipe down after the top down driving in 30C. heat yesterday...so all spic 'n span... :D

Very easy and premium wax at a low price:

Meguiars Wash and Wax just fill a bucket add a drop wax is in with the wash the car comes out show room in under 15 minutes.

Meguiars easily the best custom car wax in the business.

Wash day for the Z is Friday and will be ............................

Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold,
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not!
